The overall master plan will also include residential and serviced apartment towers, resettlement housing, and public amenities.

Drawing inspiration from a more traditional market square, the project creates a central meeting place for the public.
The site used to accommodate a warehouse within the old industrial district of Sungang and will soon be converted into a new CBD. The complex will mark an important milestone for the ongoing transformation of Sungang, acting as a catalyst to drive urban regeneration in the area. 

The complex is imagined as a range of interconnected spaces, revolving around the human scale. MixC Market Hall will include food-oriented boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, food halls, interactive classes, as well as arts, culture, and entertainment spaces.

In order to create a a new and dynamic boulevard, the façade holds a stainless steel sculptural canopy that leads to the pedestrianized retail street. The market hall entrance is animated by three floating box-shaped structures, inspired by the design of food truck containers.
